The secret of Onkyo.

Let Onkyo transport you to a world beyond electronics...to a world of more perfect sound. Where you'll hear music of such stunning purity and sensual richness, that you'll forget you're listening to an audio system.

That's the secret of Onkyo … and Onkyo's dramatic success. The unique ability to take you several steps beyond pure technology ...to experience more exciting sound.

And you'll find it all in our new stereo receivers.


-- The Onkyo TX-7000 : The Onkyo TX-7000 Quartz Locked AM-FM Stereo Receiver is an outstanding example. Both its power amplifier and FM sections are rich with important new design concepts.

The TX-7000's power amplifier provides two major innovations never before present in a stereo receiver. The first is called Super Servo and it totally eliminates the sonic "ghost signals" common to DC power amplifiers. As a result, each instrument and voice sounds purer and more individually real... regardless of volume level. Perhaps for the first time, you'll experience stereo with true depth, spaciousness, and a remarkably discernable third-dimension.

The second innovation is Linear Switching which lets us provide Class A amplifier sound quality with Class B power efficiency. Crossover distortion is significantly reduced.

And output power is very high and efficient...90 watts per channel with no more than 0.02% Total Harmonic Distortion*.

The TX-7000's FM section is also clearly superior... picking up weak stations noiselessly and strong stations without distortion. Precise drift-free Quartz-Locked tuning is just one of the reasons.

A unique Human Touch Sensor automatically controls the Quartz Locked system for more reliable and convenient operation ... releasing the system instantly when it senses your touch on the tuning knob... then engaging it again as your fingers leave the knob.

Special circuits also monitor both left and right channels... detecting and cancelling out sound distorting FM signal noise. Other circuits remove interference noise from TVs and other nearby appliances.

Digital FM readout ... separate bass, mid and treble controls... 2-way tape dubbing facilities... and dozens of other important features are all found in the TX-7000.


---The Onkyo TX-5000 is equally impressive. Except for power, it shares virtually all of the sound improving innovations present in the TX-7000... Quartz-Locked tuning with Human Touch Sensor control ...Super-Servo circuitry for greater sound purity and depth ... Linear Switching for significantly reduced crossover distortion.

The TX-5000's output power is very high and efficient ... 65 watts per channel with only 0.03% Total Harmonic Distortion.* Both a digital FM frequency display and illuminated dial with pointer are provided. As are three meters, two tape inputs for tape-to-tape dubbing, and outboard signal processing facilities.


---The TX-3000 provides many of the same innovations for truly superior sound ... but here we use our unique Servo-Locked tuning system instead of Quartz. This system automatically fine tunes FM stations and keeps them fine tuned, regardless of the temperature and humidity variations that cause drift in conventional tuners and receivers.

Along with the TX-7000 and TX-5000... the TX-3000 utilizes Super-Servo circuitry, Linear The Onkyo TX-3000 Switching and Human Touch Sensor. It delivers 45 watts per channel with only 0.04% Total Harmonic Distortion*.


--- The Onkyo TX-2000: The TX-2000 is incredible... in both performance and affordability. Its full array of advanced features and new design concepts provide a purity and realism of sound never before available in a relatively low-cost receiver.

The TX-2000 delivers 27 watts per channel with no more than 0.06% Total Harmonic Distortion*. It utilizes the same precision Servo Locked tuning system with Human Touch Sensor that we use in the higher-end TX-3000.

Styling of all four new receivers is superb. Brushed silver metal with black, thick smoked glass front-mounted face plates, even rosewood-grained vinyl cladding on the metal chassis housings. An accessory case ... as shown with the TX-3000 above ... is available for all models as an optional extra.
